That, and my independent documentation of Axe's commands. These are the optimized signed divisions that will round down instead of to zero:

  • //2
  • //64
  • //128
  • //256
  • //512
  • //16384

Ok, I guess I'll just use if statements or something :P

Another one..
Would this work...?
xor Be7→Be7
...e being the bit thing.
Or does and/or/xor always need two inputs, one bit or not?
Also, what exactly does not() do?

You're trying to flip the bottom bit? Do B xor 1->B. and/or/xor do take 2 inputs. not() takes a value as input and inverts each bit.

Ok, cool.
I noticed you didn't put in parenthesis...when are they not needed?  When it's just a single number?

Operations are always done from left to right unless you use parentheses to specify a different order.

Returns the bitwise operation of the lower 8 bits of the expressions. You often need parenthesis on the second argument when used.

So...why is this?  All it does is switch the nums around (ie from 1 or (A) to A or 1 )?

Ah, that just means if the second argument is an expression. For example, A=0 or (B=1)

Yeah, the point is that something like A=0 and B=0 gets evaluated as ((A=0) and B)=0. Just think strictly left to right.

Ok..

Is there a way to directly manipulate a single byte bit?
I've been checking it first then using xor if it's not the desired value, but is there a better way to do it?

What do you mean, manipulate a single byte? Manipulate in what way?

byte bit

Like, you can do 1→A.  Is there a way to do something like that to one bit?
I've tried 1→#e# but that messes up the whole 8 bits..

To work with bits, you need a bitmask. The bitmask corresponding to each of the 8 bits in a byte are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 (i.e. powers of 2). To store 1 to a bit of A, do A or bitmask->A. To store 0 to a bit of A, do A and not(bitmask)->A. To invert a bit of A, do A xor bitmask->A. You can even store to multiple bits at once by adding the appropriate masks together.

Edit:
It might also be easier to visualize the masks if you type them in directly as binary. For example, to set the 6th bit of A (counting from the left as the e command does), do A or π00000010->A. To reset the 3rd bit, do A and π11101111->A. To invert the 0th bit, do A xor π10000000->A

Yes, I figured out the binary and 2^n things I was just wondering what the commands would be to set the bit to a desired value.

So on, or; off and not(); invert, xor.  Thanks ;D

You can use the new Pxl(,,)command

Two things.
1: This isn't related to graphic stuff, but I can see where you're getting at using it with data.  I'd just prefer it to be more optimized.
2: I'm using 0.5.3 till the contest is over.

Good idea tho..
